Lots of feature patches are being committed at the moment on BBC Programmes which means lots of nice new stuff to talk about. Tom has mentioned a couple of the current batch, but I thought I’d reiterarte the upcoming stuff because it was work I was involved in.

The upcoming views are essentially Now/Next on the bbc. They are now exposed as Json, XML and Yaml as well as a fun txt view which Nic also implemented a while back on schedules. Below are many examples, so you get the idea.

[HINT]: If you use Firefox, you can type view-source: at the start of the urls below and they will stop the browser trying to download the file. This is useful for viewing the Json and Yaml views.
